ingredients
directions
- Boil the water and sugar with the lemon zest for about five minutes.
- dd the pears, cut side down, and continue to boil for 8 minutes longer.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the pears and lemon zest and set aside.
- Cut the abbey cheese up into little mini wedges, or just in small slices. Then coat each piece completely in flour.
- Dip the cheese pieces in the beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Repeat until all the cheese wedges are coated.
- Heat two inches of oil over a hot stove (the oil is ready when bubbles rise around the non-stirring end of a wooden spoon). Drop the breaded cheese into the oil, taking care to keep them separate so they don't stick.
- Fry until the croquettes are a golden color (this should take less than a minute).
- Drain on paper towels and serve with the pear syrup as a dipping sauce (you may need to add a little water to the syrup to thin the syrup).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
